Abilities and War

What kind of sparks should people with abilities collide with in modern warfare? Which one comes first, superpowers or modern technology? If you're interested, you can check out the first Part 1: Abilities and Reality. The writing wasn't very good, although this one doesn't seem to be much better. The first part is boring and serves as a foreshadowing. If you want excitement, you can start reading directly from Chapter 20.
